In one particular section of Microsoft’s official devblog, the company makes it exceedingly clear that its DirectX feature level 12_2 will be available – apart from NVIDIA – to AMD’s “Big Navi” RDNA2 GPU architecture which, as we all know, is expected to launch with ray-tracing hardware.

In addition to this, users could launch more than one Android app in separate windows and switch between them effortlessly – in addition to also multitask with other Windows 10 applications.

Interesting enough, the Ministry of Health (MoH) has launched an online survey to gauge the acceptance level of COVID-19 vaccine in Malaysia within the same week. The survey lasted for a week and the ministry has since revealed that the majority of the 212,006 respondents are willing to accept the vaccine.

The image itself reveals a partially unfolded phone that has the iconic Motorola Razr look. The reflective surface suggests that it may have a foldable display. But it’s not a clear enough shot to be certain. The image doesn’t really reveal much else. Motorola has been granted patents for foldable phones since August 2018. The latest one, granted in January, featured the iconic Razr chin in addition to the foldable display....

However, the Sultan of Selangor has provided special permission on 13 April for JAIS to resume marriage solemnization ceremony in the state during MCO.

However, the myNEWS Malaysia app is not exactly like the e-wallet app you might have seen out there. The app acts more like a digital version of myNEWS Card although users can still choose to add up to 5 physical myNEWS Card that they might already own into the app alongside the virtual card. Both the physical and virtual version of the card utilizes barcode interface for their transactions. For now, customers still have to visit myNEWS branches in order to load up funds into the myNEWS Malaysia app as there is no in-app or online reload option for it which is something that separates the app from being an e-wallet app....

Just like the Android version of the app, MySJ Trace on iOS does not carry the beta label as per the version for Huawei devices. Unlike those platforms, the feature somehow does not require iOS users to turn on location permission for it: The document also said that the MySJ Trace supports devices with iOS 10 or newer but then again, the MySejahtera app itself requires at least iOS 11....

The first game should need no introduction. First released back in 2017, Need for Speed: Payback was one of the better looking games of the series. But unfortunately, it was chock full of microtransactions and even the upgrade system was a mess of randomised lootbox rolls. Now that it’s free it’s probably the best time to pick the game up, provided you don’t start spending on its microtransactions. — PlayStation Asia (@PlayStationAsia) October 1, 2020 Vampyr, on the other hand, is a much more straight forward action RPG experience....

ERNW stated that BlueFrag attackers are able to access phones via Bluetooth MAC addresses which can be easily obtained by scanning unsecured public WiFi networks that the phones are connected to. The attack is done silently behind the scenes and users will be totally unaware of it happening. As mentioned earlier, the vulnerability is only present on older Android phones due to the lack of support to their outdated OS, although an upcoming February 2020 security patch could prevent this on Android 9 Pie devices....

Moreover, the source claims that NVIDIA plans on launching the card sometime in April this year, though it should be noted that no other sources have confirmed this alleged launch date. — kopite7kimi (@kopite7kimi) December 10, 2020 Additionally, kopite7kimi also alleges that the RTX 3080 Ti could come with 10240 CUDA cores, which translate to around 80 Stream multiprocessors....

The leak comes by way of Twitter user REHWK (@hw_reveal), whose screenshot of the benchmark also includes details of the CPU via CPU-Z. To be fair, whoever it was they lifted the screenshot from crudely redacted the processor model, plus other details such as the motherboard brand and model, as well as the Socket type. However, some of the redactions seem pointless, while some seem incomplete to the point that we can safely guess the information that they were trying to hide....

In terms of design, the newer camera is basically a direct variant of Sony’s ZV-1 that was released in 2020. That being said, it features the same body size, fixed integrated lens, control layout, and vari-angle LCD touchscreen display for framing. Similarly, the ZV-1F also comes with a shoe mount for external attachments, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, as well as a micro-HDMI port. Thankfully, Sony has ditched the microUSB port for this model and replaced it with a USB-C one instead, which can be used for both charging and transferring data to compatible devices....

While it isn’t outrightly mentioned, it’s clear that the executive order is targeted at Huawei. It comes after months of escalating actions and issues against the Chinese telecom and smartphone maker. Specifically, its the close relationship between the company’s CEO, Ren Zhengfei, and the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The banned telecommunication equipment in question are related to 5G network technology; the next major mobile network infrastructure. One reason why US regulators are heavily scrutinising the brand’s equipment is that under China’s Cybersecurity Law, any and all Chinese technology firms must provide the Chinese government with “technical support and assistance”....

Google has been testing the feature for quite some time and before its public release, it was only accessible to the subscribers of YouTube Premium. Users will be able to identify the most frequented parts of a video based on the progress bar. The company claims that if the graph behind the bar is high, it means that that particular part of the video has been replayed numerous times. As an example, should a user wish to search for a certain part of a video where a snippet has gone viral, this tool will direct them to that particular timestamp....

The Z9 arrives with a 45.7MP stacked sensor, paired with Nikon’s latest EXPEED 7 image processor, an ISO range of 64 to 25600, and an electronic shutter. Together, these enable the new camera to shoot max resolution photos in JPEG at 30fps and RAW at 20fps, whereas lowering the megapixel count will let it capture images up to 120fps. Nikon highlights the Z9’s electronic shutter to offer “the world’s most minimal rolling-shutter distortion,” thus making it ideal for motion-focused photography such as sports or action....

Alongside the release date, Metronomik also announced a PS4 Collectior’s Edition of No Straight Roads.
